Mechanical crystals, also known as phononic crystals, are materials that can control the propagation of vibrations or sound waves, just like photonic crystals control the flow of light. The introduction of defects in these ...
A team of biology and optics researchers affiliated with a host of institutions in Spain has found that the unique undercoating of the barn owl helps to make it less visible to prey when flying under the moon and starlit ...
A team of marine biologists, zoologists, and cetologists from Université Paris-Saclay, Université d'Antananarivo and Ambodiforaha Sainte Marie has learned more about the ways baby humpback whales and their mothers communicate.
A team of chemists and biomedicine specialists at Nanjing University, in China, developed an "artificial tongue" based on biological nanopore technology that can be used to determine the chemical makeup of alcoholic drinks. ...
An international team of astronomers has analyzed multi-color photometric and spectroscopic observations of the star Gaia20bdk. As a result, they found that Gaia20bdk is a FUor-type young stellar object. The finding is presented ...
Quantum computers have the potential of outperforming classical computers in some optimization and data processing tasks. However, quantum systems are also more sensitive to noise and thus prone to errors, due to the known ...
Understanding and reliably measuring the geometric properties of quantum states can shed new light on the intricate underpinning of various physical phenomena. The quantum geometric tensor (QGT) is a mathematical object that ...
A team of life scientists at East China Normal University has found that at least one type of cold-blooded animal uses behaviorally-induced fever to battle infections. In their paper published in Proceedings of the National ...
A trio of statisticians at the University of Minnesota has found an association between union membership and lower mortality rates. In their study published in the journal Social Science & Medicine, Tom VanHeuvelen, Xiaowen ...
Nonlinear dynamical systems are systems that can undergo sudden shifts not due to changes in their state or stability, but in response to the rate at which external conditions or parameters change. These sudden shifts, known ...
